BACKGROUND:
Ms. M ’Adele Carson, owner, is requesting a variance to reduce the front yard setback of 30 feet to 23.8 feet to accommodate a front porch addition.
The front porch was being constructed without permits. Although the applicant made an application with the permitting department, the permit was denied due to the front yard setback encroachment.
The existing home currently measures 31.8 feet from the property line; therefore, the applicant is seeking a 6.2 feet variance.
The elevation sheets as presented by the applicant indicate how the front porch currently is constructed (5 feet plus an additional 4 feet for the stairs). Ms. Carson indicated she will be eliminating an additional step, decreasing the measurement of 4 feet to 3 feet.
Supporting documentation has been provided for review.
